Most definitely.

A false positive often has negative contribution to the overall training (at the very least taking time from current members without giving back, but often also creating new problems).

A false negative has zero cost (and zero benefit).

I think it's a no-brainer that false negatives are much preferred to false positives in the overall tradeoff (and ... there is always a tradeoff between false positive and false negative)
